The mission of BPF, founded in 1978, is to serve as a catalyst for socially engaged Buddhism. Its purpose is to help beings liberate themselves from the suffering that manifests in individuals, relationships, institutions, and social systems. Its programs, publications, and practice groups link Buddhist teachings of wisdom and compassion with progressive social change.
The Boston Research Center for the 21st Century (BRC) is an international peace institute founded in 1993 by Daisaku Ikeda, peace activist, educator, and president of Soka Gakkai International (SGI), a Buddhist organization active in 190 countries and territories around the world. Inspired by the SGI’s philosophy of value creation (Soka), the BRC works to build cultures of peace through dialogue and education programs. These programs include public forums and scholarly seminars that are organized collaboratively and offer a diverse range of perspectives. The overarching goal of these gatherings is to contribute to a shift in United States culture from isolation, violence, and war to interconnectedness, nonviolence, and peace.
